football is an american sport, founded and invented in the usa...

 

association football (or commonly known as soccer) originated in england in the mid 1800's

 

finally, rugby football, originated in Rugby UK around the mid 1750's, but is rarely refered to as "football" but more commonly "rugby"

Dear Gator,

 

I'm confused (only on this subject; ...yes, that's a preemptive caveat to the obvious retort).

 

Is football...

 

 

 

this...

 

 

this...

 

 

or this (the original sport)...

 

 

 

There seems to be no consensus.

 

I await your sage response!

 

 

Thank you, oh venerable Gator, you didn't fumble the ball.

 

So, given the established history, why isn't football called American Rugby, since rugby football is the sport that the American version of football most closely resembles and from whence it originated?

 

 

I would attribute it to arrogance (thumbs u

Dear Gator,

 

What would you consider to be (roughly) the FMV for all Pre-Robin Tecs (#27-37) in CGC Universal 2.0 condition?

[G.A.tor]

Dear Gator,

 

What would you consider to be (roughly) the FMV for all Pre-Robin Tecs (#27-37) in CGC Universal 2.0 condition?

First, you have to find them in that condition and even then not all 2.0s are created equally. But for point of illustration "if" you found avg cond copies in gd:

27...100k

28...10-12k

29...15k

30...1k

31...15k

32...1k

33...7-8k

34...sub 1k

35...10k

36...3k

37...2.5k

Why is 35 higher than 33?

[G.A.tor]

Why is 35 higher than 33?

far more demand relative to supply...

Dear Gator,

 

I bought this here comic from Mr. Bedrock at NYCC last weekend after he looked at me with dreamy eyes and smiled.

 

 

He did talk about nice artwork between the covers.

 

Should I be concerned?

It's a shoddy effort by an obscure back water artist I doubt GAtor has ever heard of.

Who says an LCS in 2011 can't be dreamy?

If you think that's dreamy you ought to see his colorful displays in the intimacy of a small ComicCon booth.
